I turned my back on the PB&J for years when I discovered more “sophisticated” foods. In fact, I hadn’t had a peanut butter and jelly […]

I’ve heard the word perfectionism several times in the last few days. I’ve been a struggling perfectionist my whole life. I’m always looking for the secret formula that will make life perfect.

http://youtu.be/oKlL8m3mD7k Sia’s mega hit Chandelier is omnipresent. Her exuberance surrounds us in the gym, on the street, the supermarket and, of course, the dance floor. The other day I was listening to this amazing remix and I had a chandelier epiphany. I got to thinking that Sia has probably never really danced on top of […]
